About Us
Alaskan Fiddler Music Solutions was created in 2008 to promote music education and to share the joy of music through performance.
Adam Stewart
Adam is the founder of Alaskan Fiddler Music Solutions. After
spending seven years in Nashville, Tennessee touring professionally,
he has returned to Anchorage with the hopes of sharing his first-hand knowledge of the music industry with aspiring musicians, continuing the tradition of high quality music education within Alaska, and bringing joy to audiences across the state though public performances.
Adam has almost 30 years of experience playing violin, he holds a Bachelor of Music in Violin Performance from the University of Northern Colorado, and he has won many awards for performance and composition throughout his life.
Adam was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska where he discovered his love for violin at the age of three. Since then, Adam's love of music has led him to learn several other instruments including: guitar, mandolin, banjo, bass, drums, and didjeridoo. Adam has performed with many award winning artists and ensembles, and has traveled internationally to perform for special events and government dignitaries. Adam has a diverse background in music with influences spanning from Beethoven and Bluegrass to Blues and beyond.
